What Clients Are Saying Saltmarsh Observation Tower (GG)
3 /5 8 2: Climbed up here once, the stairwell is not maintained well and the stairs curve really steeply so it is dangerous if you slip. There are a bunch of huge trees that cover your view but it is good otherwise. A good place to stop for food as they have a map and a metal bench after a long walk from Bicentennial park.
5 /5 James: Not the best view as the trees have outgrown the tower. In a way, it’s poetic that nature has overcome this manmade structure. Five stars to nature.
3 /5 Antoine M: This is so remote and isolated observation tower. I find it very dirty on the top floor with an unpleasant smell, not from the mangroves! The grass area around the tower was overgrown. There isnt many views from the tower as the mangroves are very tall and thick. I recommend wearing long sleeve clothing and bringing aeroguard spray because mosquitoes are prevalent in this area.
Danniel Maclang Basketball court
90% clean - enough for casual pickup games, not frequently cleaned and will usually have scattered leaves and branches which could cause slips
Basketball rings
One has an intact cotton net while the second has a loose nylon net which isnt effective in guiding and the balls fall.
Playground
Doesnt get crowded on weekday morning and afternoons
Yelena Vlasova Fantastic little park - shade, BBQ facilities and tables. Plus of course water features to keep little ones happy for hours on end.
The only downside for me was how far the public toilets are located.
If you happen to be alone with 2 kids the toilet break becomes a logistical issue.
Dulshan P. Yatagama We had the privilege of talking to Dr John from the facility who is a very good resource person as well very approachable and friendly.
Highly recommended for anyone who would like to know about the ancestral original of the land.
Sean Nairn Large open grassed area next to the Olympic stadium. Has a public toilet next to it but no other facilities or shelter. A short walk from Olympic Park station as well as food and drink stores nearby. Good spot to attend concerts / festivals as well.
Manoj and Jasu Patel Lake in the brickpit is an amazing emerald green. Only happens once a year (4nov2018), see it while you can. Best viewed on a sunny day to see the glowing effect.
